Manliness Requires Balance

Like most things in life; you need to maintain a balance. Just as sitting on a couch for 12 hours a day is detrimental to ones physical health; not experiencing other cultures because they don't have a nearby gym is detrimental to ones cultural health.

As long as you can get back into your routine once the trip is complete, you should take any opportunity to travel. I am a firm believer that as part of anyone's education, travel should be required.

Also consider the fact that you will most likely be doing a lot of walking on your trips. You can get some exercise that way.
